That three stage set up is SO amazing! Its so nice to see people putting effort into keeping these guys around. I would love to see them in person someday. Our local chuck e cheese got rid of our remaining animatronic before I had a chance to see it.

A channel I forgot the name of has a complete MMBB (cyberamics)

I was born in Charlotte and I worked at the Showbiz Pizza Place on Highway 51 in the early 90's (89, 90, 91) during the "concept unification" right before I left for college in 1991. Showbiz was the absolute chit. It is hard to believe almost a quarter century later this location still has all the animatronics on all three stages. I remember dressing up as Billy Bob and my friend as Chuck E Cheese and we would chase each other around the 150+ arcade games and pinball machines. I remember doing "lock ins" where kids could spend the night, watch the show and play games all night long! I still take my 9 year old to this very CEC location to this day. They took out the sports room and the beverage bar. Heck the only thing that is really original from what I can tell are the locations of the bathroom, the tech room and the stage itself. Oh and now it is no smoking! LOL! Yeah you could order pitchers of beers, smoke stogies and watch the rear projection TV in the "sports bar" while your kids ran around with no supervision. The only thing constant is change. Thanks for posting this!

@@user-ee1vs6wt2b Yes. The concept unification was done right before I left for college in 1991. I worked at Showbiz from 1989-1990 in the Pineville Matthews Road CEC location in SE Charlotte. The Showbiz turned CEC is still open in my city and state. I take my 9 year old daughter there. The only things that remained the same are the stage itself, the bathrooms and the tech workshop in the back. The rest has been Chuckied! The show in this location is probably one of the best condition ones in the USA. It is also the only location with the mini munch in the can on the floor. There are YT videos here that will demonstrate just how wonderful the condition of the show still is in 2023. What a blast!

The building and baby munch are super cool to see working again, when I was a kid the one by me was set up like the street stage you described, it really was good.

Thanks Man! Always had a Happy time there

That’s awesome , good to see people care about the animatronics , awesome individuals , thanks for another video , cheers from Milwaukee !

This vid gave me so much nostalgia. Former KZreadr Big Cheese visited these two store frequently. Don’t know what happened to him or why he terminated his channel, but it’s good to see these two NC locations again. My fav stage of all time is the Huntsville AL location but the last one you showed w/ Munch Jr. and the awesome lighting is a close second. Side note: I couldn’t hear Alex very well when you were talking with him because the show was going on at that very moment. Perhaps you could have waited until they stopped performing before letting Alex show you around the stage?

some locations that work great and are getting 2.0... maybe instead of destroying the working ones, they should be put to good use and be transferred to locations like Albemarle (the one with the road stage) who's animatronics aren't working too good.

so happy to see the animatronics got the tlc love they deserve, they look so lively. i hope they don't get removed for the crappy 2.0 remodel. wish other locations did the same when they had the chance

Speaking of Hawaiian pizza at Chuck E Cheese I remember seeing a TV show where the premise was they revisited foods from the 1980s that you can’t get today. In that particular episode they looked at 1980s Chuck E Cheese Pizza. They recreated the 1980s Hawaiian pizza, which did have pineapple and ham… but interestingly it also had almonds. You can’t get this pizza at CEC today, but the host of the show admitted the combination sounded odd, yet it still worked as a pizza

I went to the second location in 2020 and there wasnt a baby munch back then!! Im assuming he was a newer addition?

This is the location where a youtuber name big cheese always filmed at this location to do up close and personal with the animatronics But unfortunately he left a KZread

the roadstage helen and chucky just looking at the camera is unsettling even though its just basic movements

That 3 stage must’ve in Pineville. I believe the only left in Charlotte unless that’s the one on the east side on Abermarle Rd. I wish they factored in programming the curtains. That’s the wow factor for me lol. If only I knew how to repair/fabricate parts and sew, I’d make sure they never leave and move ultra fluid like

i don't understand how cec corporate can let these automatronics rot in their open businesses. i wish they'd just sell them to private collectors so they can get the love they deserve

I see a moon animatronic in the back too!!

Yo yo yo great news pinville is keeping there animatronics

whats the music when you were looking at the first stage?

I don’t know but when I was younger I saw the animatronics in toy boxes and there’s now nothing to see about it

I had no idea there were still locations with animatronics. I really hope they keep the Pineville location because I've heard so much care has been put into that one to keep it alive. I also think one former ShowBiz location that underwent Concept Unification should be kept as a nod to its history.
